Fullscreen Video

Using Yahoo App Publishing, you can create Video Ad Units and Rewarded Ad Units.

Create Fullscreen Video Ad Units

To create a video ad unit, follow these steps.

Begin by filling in the required information:

  1. Name your ad unit.

  2. Select the app for your ad unit.

  3. Select the Standard type (assuming you are not creating a Rewarded ad unit).

  4. Select the Full Screen Placement type:

  1. Decide your CPM floors for your video ads. This is the minimum amount you want to earn for every 1,000 impressions served (eCPM). For video, Yahoo recommends a floor of ~$5-10. Note that you can modify your floor prices at any time if you want to wait and see how your ad performs. Leave blank to let Yahoo optimize your floor.

You can now save your ad unit.

Warning

Look for a green success banner at the top of this page to ensure your ad unit has successfully saved. Should it not save correctly, you will not be able to retrieve ads later on. Clicking “save” again should resolve this issue.

Important

Use the latest SDK to ensure that the latest video features are included in your app.

Video Options

Next, choose your maximum length and skippability settings:

  • Length: You can choose to allow videos of virtually any length in your ad units.

  • Skippability: By default, ad units are non-skippable video ads because this performs best for publishers. Publishers can make ads skippable or skippable if the length is greater than 15s.

You can also set up Rewarded Video ad spaces.
